Warning added to Leo Song - SRK Jawan audio in Chennai and Prabhas film hit by Prithviraj injury

As expected , Thalapathy Vijay’s Leo has run into trouble . The first single Naa ready video has attracted a case under the Narcotics Control Act for the lyrics that glorify substance use and visuals of hero and friends smoking and drinking beer. Yesterday, makers decided to add a tobacco warning message to the song . Sometime back a song from Kamal Haasan film Vikram , which too was directed by Lokesh, ran into trouble for lyrics that ridiculed the Central Government. The film came out in theatres with the lines deleted. Rajeswari Priya who quit PMK and floated a new political party was the first to fire the salvo against the Leo song. Now Naam Tamilar has joined the issue. PMK which had a running feud with Rajinikanth over smoking scenes in Baba , had objected to a poster of Vijay film Sarkar. Vijay then apologized and said that he would not smoke in any future films. What has added fuel to fire is that the song is sung by Vijay himself. Detractors point that by lending his voice, he is reaching out to youth with a wrong message. Priya asks whether the actor would have played this song at the function where he gave away awards to rank holders of 10 th Standard. Dravidian parties and PMK have not reacted to the song. The opening lines also is seen as a call to his fans to join him in his fight and that he is to go it alone. Journalist Umapathy in an interview said that Vijay call to students to read biography of Periyar , Ambedkar , Kamaraj and omitting Annadurai has shown that he is away from Dravidian and BJP politics. “If he has asked students to read books on Veer Savarkar , he would have been hailed “ said Umapathy. Many insiders pointed out that Vijay asking students to read Periyar life history among others was like a red flag to BJP. Hindu Munnani activists in Tamil Nadu were said to be damaging Periyar statues and pouring yellow paint on it. Leo would face censor troubles is the buzz and also that reports of the producer having minted Rs 350 crores profit from pre release biz would have the tax men at his doors .

Jawan audio launch would take place in Chennai on July 7th said a source. The film has Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi and few other actors apart from Director Atlee belong to Chennai. Thalapathy Vijay is expected to be Chief Guest . It will be the first public function of SRK in Chennai. SRK shot for a month in Chennai for Jawan and attended the birthday bash of Atlee and called on Nayanthara’s house to see her twins. He had acted in Chennai Express and his film Dil Se was dubbed into Tamil .

Prithiviraj accident and a key hole surgery has got Director Prasanth Neel and Salaar makers worried as in this Prabhas film with Sruthi Haasan has lot of footage to be shot with Prithviraj. The actor’s tweet indicated that he would be needing physiotherapy treatment. Prithviraj had dubbed in Malayalam for Prabhas in Radhe Shyam.
